When we save the state for the floating point registers this can be done in the form visible through either the FPSIMD V registers or the SVE Z and P registers. At present we track which format is currently used based on TIF_SVE and the SME streaming mode state but particularly in the SVE case this limits our options for optimising things, especially around syscalls. Introduce a new enum which we place together with saved floating point state in both thread_struct and the KVM guest state which explicitly states which format is active and keep it up to date when we change it. At present we do not use this state except to verify that it has the expected value when loading the state, future patches will introduce functional changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
